This is a meeting to establish a Weave for the Geneva NVC international community. Weave is the term proposed by the new NVC international organization for the specific groups within the NVC community who gather with a particular purpose. Our basic purpose is to gather all who would like to support co-ordinating and spreading NVC activities in Geneva and the surrounding area. Anyone who would like to be part of this is welcome! Please note: This is not a workshop or practice group, it is a community building/logistics meeting, and we bring snacks :-)

Every part of you, in its own way, wants your best, your happiness and your well-being. This includes your inner critic, the voice that tells you that you should do more, or faster, or better, also the part that protects you by shutting down or exploding or experiencing every other inner voice, thought and feeling you have. With NVC, we can learn to embrace the messages these parts bring while staying aligned to our core values and the way we choose to live. By understanding how these parts want to contribute to us, we can integrate them with love and move towards a sense of wholeness. This gives us more capacity to bring love and our true selves into the world! Contribution: 160chf - 500chf sliding scale. If you want to come and money is an obstacle to attend, please contact me.
